NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Friday, March 11, 1842, “To Medical Advertisers, The Lancet now presents the best medium ofaddressing the medic] profession. Its circulation is nearly three thousand copies weekly, and extends to every section of the Union. Publishers of medical works, surgicel in strument makers, dentists, &c., cannot find a more desi rable and useful. vehiele for their announcements then this popular periodical. Druggists in the city cannot in anyother way so effectively address country epothe- caries, a great number of whom are practitioners, and subscribers to the Lancet. : : To physicians themselves, who wish to dispoee of their practice, procure assistants, or form partnerships, the Lancet affords unequalled opportunities of extensively communicoting with their professional brethren. To professional young men desirous of obtaining situations, the same facilities are offered. The various medical schools aud colleges throughout the Union—conductors of private hospitals ond infirmaries, &c, should lao avail themselves of the advanteges thus presented, The Lan- cet now circulates inevery considerable city end village throughout the Union.

This steamship, due here yesterday morning, 4rom Halifax, had not arrived when our paper went to press. She is looked for with much anxiety, by thoee deeply interested in the fate of the Caledonia. It is to be heped that she may bring some intelli- gence of that micsing steamship. The State of the Country—What Is to be Done! What is the country coming to? What is to be done? No money in the treasury? Our ships ean’tsail! The home squadron lying idle! The workmen in our navy-yards, arsenals, §c , unpaid and!) grumbling! Our difficulties with Exgland growing darker, and our defences stopped in their progress for want of means. What is to be done? Congress is three months advanced in their cession, and still engaged in long speeches and party broils. Jotrigues, speeches and president-making are the order of the day. What isto be done ? The Go- vernment must have money, or stand as still as a broken German clock. The remedy is a simple one. We cannot expect to have all the benefit of a government without any of its burdens. We cannot support a government Without taxes of any sort. And to suppose that a free government, with republican institutions, can be upheld without taxation, is just as preposterous as to suppose that liberty means a state of perfect idleness, and no exertion of thought or deed. The American people akvays involve themselves in diffi- culty by putting off the evilday of taxation. This was the way in which the continental money was dishonored and fell into worthlessness in the hands of honest hearted revolutionary soldiers,who so well earned it in the hard fought battles of their country. Thus it has happened that the states have been led, in many cases, into bankruptcy and repudiation. Put on taxes, and thus save the country and its credit like men. Take back the money from the tales of public Jands—curtail and cat off all use- Jess expenses—infuse greater economy and energy into all branches of the government, not alone in porters, and clerks’ hire, but in the mileage of mem- bers and other extras of various kinds. If all this don’t do, why, then, advance,the duties for revenue, not for protection, to 26 or to 30 per cent, if you will, on a horizontal scale, on all imports. Then let the peopie, each man, commence their reform at their own doors~ge less in debt—live more within themselves—pay all they owe as fast as they can—and, above all, pay cheerfully the means necessary to sustain the free government of their choice, and rely upon God, good ploughs, good harvests, and industry and temperance, and sound money, for prosperity in life, and peace in death. Let the people send more practical men to the Legislatures and to Congress. We have too many lawyers—and political game players and office seekers in our legislative Lalls. The producers, the farmers of the couniry, number over three millions, yet, how few, very few, of their number appear ia Congress, or elsewhere in places of trust? The Con- tinental Congress that signed the declaration of In- dependence, had more farmers, more practical men, and fewer lawyers, than has ever belenged to euch a body since, and a wiser body never eat. And, if we wish Providence to bless us and prosper us asa nation, we must fall back upon such men, and upon such times; and, above all, avoid debt, b. 5 speculators, and snares of Satan, which mean politi- cal wire-pullers. Our Leestatene—Diarcr Tax.—The locefocos have now the atcendancy in the State Legislature. They know that the only wey to restore the credit of this state, and bringits bonds up to par value, and make its engagements and its acte honored at home and abroad, is to puton a direct tax imme- diately. Why, then, do they not have the manli- neas todo this? And although a few may grom- ble at it, and they may loee eome little political ia- fluence by it for a time, still every good and honest ‘man will applaud them for so doing; and it will be bBetier for al! parties in the long run. Tar New Yous Picors—We stated in yester- day’s Herald that an opposition among the New York pilots had existed over a year; it should have been for anumber of years. The competition com- menced im 1837, and has been kept up to thie day. Goon News ror some New Yorxens—After the 4th of July next, there is to be no arresting or imprisoning any one for deb: in Mew Jersey. McDonxacv Crance.—We were yesterday pre- sented with a very capital fall length likeness of poor McDonald Clarke. It was done by a Mr. Metford, over Atwiil’s Saloon, Broadway, and cut out in five minutes with ceissere. It is a most extraordinary likeness of the “poor mad poet,” as he was Wont to call himself. Easrexs Ecrctioxs —There was am election in Lowell last Monday. No choice for Mayor. N- Wright, aa amalgarsationiet, came within one of being elected. That party is etrong in Loarell. Stephen P. Webb, a Whig, has been elected Mayor of Salem by a majority of 124 votes. We have as yet received but few retutas from New Hampshire. That State has unqreetianably gone ahead for Democracy. New York awn Aceany Raicnoan—A great meetiog has been held at Poughkeepsie, to take steps to call a General Convention, to be held at Poughkeepsie, on Thursday next, to adopt the ae- cessay measures towards building thie road. Tue Pertie Scoot Qersttox.—We do sincerely hope that our fellow citizens will approach this sub- ject ia a manner becoming rational beings and good democrats. No man is now so insane or so stupid as to deny that some change is necessary in the sys- em; atthe same time, every one is ready to admit that all the advantages and benefits connected with the system should be secered to it forever. But, on the other hand, we regret to see a great many intelli- gent men working themselves into a perfect fever at the prospect of the slightest change in the public school system, as if a wholesome improvement would destrey all the schools. Why these men would rather see disease destroy a person's lite, than that the surgeon’s knife should be employed to era- dicate the evil. Let all necessary reforms and in provements be eupported, Exrarsens rom Bostow.—We are again ind: bied to Harnden & Co., of the Great Eas'e'n Expre % and Mr. Milliken of the steamer New Haven, for tiie: Boston papers in advance of the mail. ances, and also execute two of the finest overtures of those pre-eminent masters of composition, Mo- zartand Weber. ning with the greatest eclat, and was attended by an overflowing and fashionable audience.

We do not see how, in acommonnewespaper notice, we can do proper justice te a work of this kind — This is a beautifully primted and jllustrated book of 880 pages, and containing over 400.fine- engravings. It contains pepular and scientific deecriptiors of every species of man, quadrupeds, birds, fishes, reptiles and insects. The wccounts are compiled with great care from the works of Cuvier, Buffon, Goldsmith, Audubon, Lewis & Clark, Wilson, Montague, Lacepede, Shaw, Richardson, Griffith & Geoffray, and arranged according to the classifi- cation of Stark. It throwsall other similar works on Natural History far into the shade, and is a book that no libraryl public or private, can do, without.— All the latest discoveries and researches down to 1841 are here given and illustrated; and the notes are copious and invaluable. Itis really a literary trea sure. To quote from it is impossible. It must be purchased to be appreciated. Such a work on all the branches of Natural History has long been want ed; and the lasting gratitude of the community is due to Mr. Wells fcr the very handsome manner in which he hag got up the work before us. oat Museum—Bradbury § Co.—As usual, clever.

Mvsicar.—The interest excited by the concert to be given by Signor de Begnis is much increased since his bill of fare has been offered to the public, who perceive in it the promise of a brilliant and de- jightful entertainment. It willbe seen that Md’lle Melizet will sing three songs, quite new in New York, completely different in their style of compo sition, and in different languages. Madame O:to appearing forthe first time since her return from Europe, where she has been successfully cultivating her talents, will sing two songs, entirely new to the American public, and each of these ladies will sing a comic duett with the ‘‘ Prince of comic singers,” the Signor himself, who willalso repeat the exqui- site song, ‘J’ai de l'argent,’ besides which he will act and perform the grand ecena from ‘ I!

In the Senate, this morning, after the usual busi- nese of the morning hour, the presentatiog of peti- tions and reperts from committees, Mr. BayaRp introduced a bill restricting furloughs in the naval service, which was read twice and re- ferred to the Committee on Naval Affairs. Mr. Bennuzn introduced a bill to provide for the report of the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, which was read twice, and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. The District Bank Bill, from the House, which, as amended on yesterday, and ordered to be en- grossed, authorizes the banks in the District of Co- Jumbia to receive and pay out depreciated bank pa- per for one year, or until the banks in Baltimore or Richmond resume specie payment, was taken up, read the third time, and passed by the follow ing vote, viz:— Yas w, Bates, Bayard, Choate, Clay’ Clayton, Evans, m, Huntington, Mangum, Millere Morehead, Phelps, Porter, Prentiss, mons, Smith o Indiana, Southard.

Allen, Benton, Buchanan, Calhoun, Fulten, King, Lina, McRoberts, Sevier, Smith of Con- necticut, Sturgeon, Tappan, Walker, Wilcox, Williams, ‘oolbury, Wright, and Young—18. eco The Senate then proceeded to the consideration of the orders of the day, which brought up the bill to amend the act entitled an act to appropriate the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, and to grant pre-emption rights approved September 4, 1841. After some remarks by Mr. McRozenrs, the bill was laid onthe table, and the Senate took up the resolutions Mr. Clay, in relation to an adjustment of the duties on imports, the limitation of the expendi- tures of the government, and suggesting a curtail- meant of all unnecessary expenses, and the observance of a rigid economy. The first resolution was read, as follows :— Resolved, That it isthe duty of the General Govern- ment, in condueting its administration, to provide an adequate revenue within the year to meet the current expences ofthe year; and that any expedient either by loan or vy Treasury notes, to supply, in time of peace, a deficiency of revenue, especially during successive years, is unwise, and must lead to pernicious conse- quences. Mr. Catnoun said some gentleman might desire to addreas the Senate.upon the subject, and he would move to postpone the further consideration of the regolutions until to-morrow. Mr. Cray said that he was perfectly willing, if any gentleman desired to speak, to postpone the rego- lutions until to-morrow, with the understanding that they would then take them up, and procced with their consideration, from day to day, util they were digposed of without permitting any other business to intervene. . The Senate then went into Executive.sessions; and afterwards adjourned. The intelligence of the arrestiof Hogan at Lock- port, excites much interest and discussion here. The conduct of the local authorities of Lockport meets with almost universal reprobation. It is im- prudent and unwise tothe last degree. The exas- peration of feeling along the border is natural enough and well understoed here, but will not these people look to the consequences of their rashneas and folly? Do they desire to precipitate this nation inte a war with Great Britain, and have they con- templated the horrors of such a contest? Look at the condition of the conptry at the present time. Anold New England federalist said the United States rushed into the war of 1812, without money, wit or maaners. Whether such a remark, in all its paris, could properly be applied to us in the event of arupture growing ‘out ef the scoundrelism of a gang of tatterdemalions on the frontier, we will not undertake to say, bnt money we have none; wit there may be, but where’s the evidence?’ The trea- sury is now bankrupt for the second time since the commencement of the fiscal year, and: the finance Secretary says the taith of the government will be dishonored, unless there is early provision for up- wards of three millions. As for the means of de- fence, to say nothing of offensive warfare, our for- tresses are not only unarmed, unmanned, but in such astate of dilapidation, as to be almost useless, while nearly our whole army has been for seven years baffled and thwarted by a handful of vagrant and miserable savages on the Florida Cape. Our navy, Ged bless every thing belonging to it, for fiaer ships and a more gallant eet of fellows, officers and men, never floated on blue water—is not only ut- terly inadequate, to harrass such a power as Great Britain, but incompetent to protect our great mara- time cities. Ia this state of thinge, with a bankrupt treasury, a mere ekeleton of an army, and hardly armed ships enough to compose a respectable squadron; with long pending points of dispute of the utmost difficulty and delicacy with the moet formidable nution on earth, and new questions of difference liable to pro- voke hostilities without a month’s notice, springing up with startling rapidity; what are the national legislators about? Retreaching expenses at the rate of $10,000 cost for every $500 saved—squabbling about petty personal objects—combining factiously to embarrase the administration of President Tyler, and neglecting the business of the country. Mr. Claiborne, who was nominated for the of- fice of marehal of the western district of Tennessee, ‘was rejected by the Senate this afternoon. The ex- pectation seems to be that Mr. Tyson, and several other nominees, equally uaexceptionable, will be thrown out, because they are umderstood to be friends of the administration. It is understood here, on the best authority, that nothwithstanding the nomination of Mr. Graham to the New York post-office, no person stands high: er in the confidence and regard of the President than Mr. Bloodgood ; that several honorable situations abread have already been offered him, and that his aumerous friends will shortly be gratified by his re- civing a proof of confidence in no way inferior te that which would have attended his appoint ment to the post-office. Mr. Malony, of Pennsylvania, was tc-day no- minated for Coneat at Tangiers, and Mr. Haight of Albany to Antwerp. Mouse of Representatives—Retrenchment and Reform—Alarming Increase of Con- tsugent Expendtcures—Acrival of Bor, The entire day was spent in Committee of the Whole on the civil and diplomatic appropriation bill; though more thea the usualtime was devoted to it, me progress wae made. The debate, though avowedly on the appropriation of $25,000 for the contingemt expenses of the State Department, was one of party recrimination, for the time whick has beon wasted for some weeks past. Lt was’ said by an ancient writer, that where there is shame there may be virtue; the debate to-day gave evidence of ahame, but the cause for shame each party is willing to recognize in the other alone. Mr. McKeow attributed much of the neglect of egislation to the premature rage for President mak- ing, every questien, from the election of one Presi- dent, being made to conduce to the election of 4 successor, and to cure the evil, that wise Solon would make theelectione as frequent as those for members of Congress. Four years is so short a pe- riod with the politician that he looks through it with an American’s eagerness, and prepares at once to execute his plans forthe attainment of his party or selfish purposes. To cure the evil, Mr. McKeon would dwindle down the intervening space one half. His purpose accomplished, and one continued scene of excitement would take the place of a too brief repose that may now be found, and the interests of the people would be entirely Jost in the rage and common trickery of party contests. Those interests have been too much overlooked already in these 2 eR alt A ih REET eS AANA SRRORLSL TD SD CII struggles for party triumphs, as though the success of a party candidate were the only object to be gained. T inestance.the rapid and amazing increase of expenditures in the one item of contingencies, as 8 proof that the people’s interest are not the ob- jecthof tude. Ig 1823 the sum was $354,615, asetated by Mr. Gilmer in the course of the debate. In 1837 the amount was $529,365, but in 1812 it was $1,116,308. Here is an accumulation and an inerease like the swelling volume of a mighty river, whose source is almost undistinguishable ia a mountain fastness, but which becomes deeper, and breader, and more perilous, and at length fata ly destructive 4s it rolls onward. These mighty waters at first are but the serpentine rill which is swollen by con- tributary streamlets, dnd this vast contingent ex- penditure hus arisen from items alone. In the Com- missioners’ Land Office the amount was $26,490 in 1823; in 1827 it was found to be nearly stationary, for it had only increased to $26,600 ; but in 1812 it had overpowered alll obstacles, and stood at $93,500! The contingent expenses of the two Heuses of Con- grees in 1823 were $40,000; but ia 1812 they are $210,000'!! In the Judiciary Department too the same progress has been made. In 1823 they were $65,000 ; in 1827 $150,000, and in 1842, $475,000.— The eame too may be said of the foreign intercourse. In 1823 the suin stood at $82,000; in 1927 at $191,- 000; but in 1842 it ie $215,300. There are many Bureaus as well-as the Depart: ment, in which, though smaller in amount, the in- crease has been proportionate until the total has be- come the enormous amount of $1,116,308 from the comparatively small amount of $334,615. Mr. Sameon Mason eaid that the whigs alone had ef- fected reforms for the last twelve yeare, and the whigs alone would effect reforms in future ; it wiil be happy for the country if their ostentation of re- form shall not be confined to fractions. The land- lord who boasted, and that he returned his tenants 25 per cent on their annual rents, when his ground tent was but two shillings, and he threw back the tenant sixpeace, had as much cause to glory im his munificence, as have the present Congress; they have left themselves unteuched, or perhaps not quite untouched ; it has been usual for two candles to burn during the day behind the speaker’s chair for the convenience of members in sealing their letters ; this day the retrenchment was 50 per cent, one candle being made to suffice, and the frame work in which the other had stood was carefully shelved, as of no further use. Here the retrenchment was pal- pable, but ostentatious ; it was not so clearly seen that they have spent $20,000 in per diem in a debate on an appropriation of $25,000, and which apparent- ly is not yet near its termination. But they have saved a candle per day. A proposition was made to strike out all contin- gent appropriations from the bill, and to provide for them by another independent measure : what may be its fate remains to be seen, for the House ad- | journed before any question was taken. Charles Dickens arrived here by this evenings cars, direct trom Philadelphia, and took possession ' of his lodgings at Fuller’s, which have been secured for him some days. He remained in Baltimore about an hour and a half, during which time he waiked up to Barnum’s to dine and then took a hasty view of the city, —_— a Baltimore.

James Gonpow Benxerr, Esq :— Dean Sita— A variety of exciting subjects at this moment with Us tending to induce the curious and enquiring te neglect their business, fill our Court Houses damn up the corners of our streets. Among wi subjects, the following are most conspicuous :— First—The action of the Legislature and Governor on the Resumption Bill. Second—The writ of habeas corpus in the case Mesers. Biddle, Andrews, and Cowperthwait, late officers of the United States Bank. Third—The case of Doctor Crossman and McEwen, charged with’a censpirecy, before our Recorder,to procure abortion from McEwen'ewife. And fourthly and lastly—Who shall be our next De> mocratic candidate for the Presidency. Now, ti in order to adv:se our citizens of the facta upon al these questions, that many of them whohave long neglected their business, running from post to pilla for information, may retura to it. -Iuse their favori medium of trath, your columns, to advise themo these points. There is no doubt but the Resimptior Bill will pags, if it has not already, and thet the vercor will sign it.» i The habeas corpus case of Mesré. Biddle aad others, commenced this morning before Judges King and Jones, Judge Randall being confined to his house by sickness. Ita pro; Was arrested by an exception taken by the rippestion to the pach corpus, @ the ground that it issued within fifteem days of the commencement of the present term of the Court of General Sessions, where the cfi-nce charged is properly cogaizable,orto be tried, if tried at all. Tomaintein which, was cited the sixth soe tion of the Habeas Corpus Act of 1785—which is as follows :— Sec 6.— And that no person may avoid bi bird Sligo thes so that rs or ae pee brought back in time. Be it enacted, that no persom shall be removed upon any habeas corpus grante: rsuanee of this act, within fifteen days next ing theterm Sessions of Oyer and Terminer, Gaol Dalivery, or Court, where the offence which he or she stands charged, is properly c 2 al the Julgeaer Juallessinere who are theretipen to Se e Judgeaer Ju! ef, who are to what torjattioe shall appertain.” The defence contended that this section was obso-. lete, or did not apply to this case. The Court Journed the hearing till next Monday, when their opinion on the point will be delivered. {t does occur to me that the section hae no application te ths case. The term of the Court of General Ses- sions lasts two months, the Grand Jury sit at least three weeks, the writ is issued in the same city by Judges sitting within fifty yards of the General Ses- be) moat under the eame roof, and may be dise poss q ~ 4 days, so that the salkadans © not q 'y ut a removal to anot : of the State so that'ihey could not be brought in time for trial, at this term, if committed ; we suppose asa matter of course the hearing must go: on, and we eannot but believe, with all those w have read the cleariand able opiaions of our Judge Randall, im the cases of Jaudon 8 Dunlap, that a . discharge must be the inevitable consequence of a. full hearing, which, it will be borne in mind,the de~ fendants cid not{aek before his honor, our estimable and valuable Recorder; we have no doubt. if the defendants had gone into a full hearing that they would have been discharged by him; they, however, referred @ binding one, ‘and a ai by the udges of the Court. Tf these gentiomen are re- sponsible at all for the malpractices of that defunct institution, the U.S. Bank, weaiways it they were responsible civilly in common with the great maes of directors, who have basely attempted to raise a hue and cry against them in order to make their escape in the general melée ; but since the ex- amination we are more than sati that these defendents stand protected and justifind by the books of the Bank, now in the hauds of pure, im> paitial and disinterested patriots yet, than solicitousto retain their prese! quisites and salaries for themselves and others, out: ofthe little remoina of the widows and orphans treasure. We should like to see a statement poke lished of the salaries of all concerned in the varioge- Assi nts, ra, Sc. Sc, of this institution.
